Obvious false equivalence. Just because we protect collecting/using certain data in certain contexts where we believe it does more harm than good doesn't mean we have to ban all data collection/use.
- bduerst 7y agoYou specifically stipulated that the data optimization was bad - then why is data optimization of ads harmful? Doesn't serving relevant ads have more utility?
- thenewnewguy 7y agoI made no such claim. You acted like tracking users was required to run an ad-based website, I pointed out that running ads does not require tracking users. I am not sure if I'd be willing to make the argument we should ban (as in make illegal) collection of user data, but acting like such data is required to run ads is ridiculous.
